The Darkness
By Paige

 

Looking into the darkness,

Thinking…

Thinking that someone is there

Thinking that I will hear the window

Shatter into a million pieces.

 

Looking into the darkness,

Movements…

Movements of frightening people

Movements of monsters

In my imagination.

 

Looking into the darkness,

Noises…

Noises from the door

Noises from the closet

 that I know are surely there.

 

Looking into the darkness,

Lights…

My night light still shining

Bright like the blazing sun

Lights in the Monster’s

Gleaming eyes

 

Looking into the darkness,

Voices…

Voices of my mom on the phone

Voices of the people that I see in my imagination

 

Looking into the darkness,

Colors…

Different colors when I close my eyes…

Pink, blue, green, and yellow

Different colors in my room....

Black and gray

 

 

Looking into the darkness,

Slamming Sounds…

The Slamming Sounds of car doors

The Slamming Sounds of my sister’s

door closing

 

Looking into the darkness,

 Dreams…

Crazy dreams that have terrible

people in them

Wonderful dreams that have people that

I love in them

 

Looking into the darkness,

Prayers…

Prayers for the Lord

Prayers for myself

 

Looking into the darkness,

Everything’s there…

I blink and it’s all gone.
